The Age Melbourne Writers’ Festival, now in its 21st year, has established itself as one of the pre-eminent cultural events in Australia. Staged over 10 days and nights, in August and September each year [this year - 25 August to 2 September] the festival promotes the art and talent of more than 200 writers from Australia and around the world, with attendances of more than 38,000.
The festival program features an enormous range of literary activity – entertaining discussions, debates, readings, film screenings, interviews, performances, workshops, master classes and book launches, as well as a lively schools’ program for both primary and secondary students.
The writers’ festival attracts some of the finest names in writing in Melbourne. It is an international platform for Melbourne writers and a Melbourne platform for international writers. Each festival features a fabulous line-up of Australian authors, from much-loved favourites to some of the most exciting and distinctive new voices in Australian fiction. It also offers the richest selection of international writers, many of whom have changed the way we think about the world, literature, or both.
